I'll be honest i was bit skeptical when i went to do my placement at cadorna as a carer because other fellow students had told me about the review left by previous student who did their placement, it didn't sound very good HOWEVER in my experience it was totally opposite every single staff were very nice and friendly. I was able to get lots of hands-on experience and learned a lot about how it works. All the staff were very patient while training and explained every procedure in detail. Today was the last day of my placement, and I would like to thank every single staff and management at cadorna house you all doing a great job. For future students - I guess it depends on how you present yourselves like every other workplace. If you show up with a will do and want to learn attitude, i doubt that you wont enjoy your placement.
Based off the data from the Apple devices I supplied my mother; a 72 year old lady with Multiple Systems Atrophy. Her physical health, breathing, sleeping, (and I believe) mental health has deteriorated during the respite option made available through Carer Gateway. I am unsure why Cadorna House would ban her full time carer without explanation. No one from Cadorna has been in touch regarding this or my mother’s physical activity schedules, mental health plan, or affiliated services during this period of respite in addition to the verified data from Apple, her medical and care giving professionals. Further feedback will be supplied shortly.
Not a good place for students to do their placements. I started my placement at cadorna house on Monday. But it didn't go well as I expected. The registered nurse she works in evening shift she doesn't know how to speak with someone. Furthermore, I was there to do my placements. ( RN) She wanted me to clean their toilets and also wanted me to take the all rubbish bins out. She is Very disrespectful and unprofessional nurse. I am very disappointed. At least they should have refund my hard earned money(250 dollars).
Our Mum, who is 90, moved in full time this year, after a couple of periods of respite care. She couldn't be happier, and receives excellent care. We recommend this excellent facility to anyone seeking personal care, They have 30 residents and 45 staff, including 3 nurses. Wonderful place. Phill and Sally Fent
Feedback was received from two University of Tasmania students, who completed their placement with us at Cadorna in February 2022. Their Fieldwork Coordinator passed on the below message: "I’d like to mention feedback from both students this past placement has been very positive. They enjoyed the responsibility of caring for their allocated residents and felt it was a great learning experience. Please pass this on to the staff as we can see they are very well supported throughout their clinical placements at Cadorna House."
Caring, compassionate staff. Lovely rooms. I would highly recommended Cadorna.
Lovely beautiful and caring
